Good Morning Britain presenter Charlotte Hawkins announced that "election day is finally here" - but then astonished fans by revealing that any discussion of it is completely off the table until tomorrow.
She penned on Instagram: "The calm before the storm… Election Day is finally here! So we can’t talk about politics on @gmb due to broadcasting rules…" The election will be the talk of the town today as polling day has arrived, with early indications suggesting that Labour could "wipe out" the Tories with a "super-majority".
Therefore some fans were puzzled that the tense moment is something that can't be discussed until voting closes. However, Charlotte added: "We are counting down to our election special this time tomorrow morning from 6am. Use your vote today & don’t forget ID!"
One aghast fan quizzed: "What do you mean? You talk about politics every day!" However, Charlotte adamantly shot back: "Not today!"
"That’s a bizarre rule? It’s the one day we should be talking politics :)," a second viewer chimed in. Others wished her a happy Independence Day, as the American celebrations take place on British voting day.

Meanwhile, her fans were distracted as they rushed to the post to compliment her on her outfit instead.
Pne said: "Forget politics....where is that dress from," as another added: "Beautiful outfit."
A third chipped in: "You look stunning," as a fourth agreed: "Morning Charlotte you are looking very beautiful sweetheart."
The 49-year-old looked ageless as ever in an elegant maxi dress in a summery shade of turquoise, which she paired with beige heels.

Meanwhile, other discussion focused on Charlotte's cameo in the Sharknado films, alongside Kate Garraway and Laura Tobin.
Attention will return to the election tomorrow, when the votes will have been counted and the results will be in.
Yesterday, Express.co.uk shared Rishi Sunak's "final meal as Prime Minister", while the likes of Carol Vorderman are continuing to cast aspersions with a steady stream of tweets.
Despite strong predictions that the Tories won't be able to maintain their position this time, there are still hopes that they could turn things around.
